14 Smoothies For An Instant Mood Boost

I drink smoothies like it’s my job. Which it is, sometimes, sort of. Which is awesome.

It’s TGIFriday, and here we are on the cusp (<– really?) of the end of summer holiday weekend. It seems only appropriate to get your and my wheels turning about some great smoothie-snack-dessert-kinds-of ideas for summer chill out bevgs, back to school breakfasts, post work-out refuelage, TV marathon sips, or quick and easy on-the-go guzzling. Just ignore that little part back there where I said Back To School because I’m 300 percent sure that I lied – that can’t even be true already.

These smothies can be awesome in summer with the produce is crammed into every single corner of your kitchen and spilling out your windows and onto your neighbors’ doorsteps, and they can be equally delish in the winter when the produce is only the lonely bags of mixed berries in your freezer. I’m not depressed about the w@#&!% at all, though. Not at all.

Here are 14 awesomely beautiful and thirst-quenching smoothies that I scrounged up from the most talented blender-spinners around the food interwebnets. Big thanks to these bloggers for their recipes and allowing me to share one of their photos for our eye candy enjoyment. Le sigh – pretty, pretty.

Also, I hope you have time to Google image search “paper straws” when you’re done reading this. Four dollars have never been better spent.

Come to my house and look in my fridge. You will see the largest bag of flax known to mankind. You will also see a superpower blender sitting on the counter. You will also see me with green all over my face. Do the math, guys.

I mean, what else did you think we were going to drink while watching the Bachelorette? These basically scream summer trash TV. A lot of happy Watermelon Coconut sippin went down this year with our dedicated Bach groupies.

I’ve always been on the fence with raspberries, but this summer I took the plunge and bought only organic raspberries. Oh my wonderful world of sweet berries, they were so good. As a new raspberry obsesser, this smoothie is speaking to me.

Arn’t smoothies just the best?? I love throwing things in a blender and then ending up with a pretty, wholesome drink….well sometimes they are not the prettiest, but they almost always taste delicious! Ha!

Thanks for including me in this awesome round-up! Have a great long weekend! 🙂

What an awesome round-up, Lindsay! Thanks so much for including me in it! I could probably drink 3-5 smoothies a day, but I limit myself to one for breakfast… every. single. day. I’m either crazy or in love… or both. Probably both 🙂

Thank you so much for such an amazing composition of delicious smoothies! I have a smoothie nearly every day so it will be nice to jazz up my routine with these. I just don’t know which link to click first!

I am positive I have never derived so much joy from looking at smoothies before! This post is definitely over-the-top! Thank you but I have to go cause there is a Chocolate Cherry Smoothie beckoning me! <3

This recipe is sponsored by WHOLESOME! Minty chocolate cake and frosting wrapped in white chocolate and gold sprinkles and swizzled with one more chocolate drizzle? Oh, hiiiiii! That's where we're headed today. Happy Holidays, friends! We've arrived in this very happy minty chocolate December place and IT. IS. GOOD. I am holiday-dancing like Elf over here as the snow falls and my un-packed Europe suitcase lays open in the living room, and the Christmas music blares on full blast and the smear of chocolate cake batter looks nice and cute on my chin. Whatchu gonna do bout it. HOW TO MAKE…

🎶 This could be-the-start! of something new! 🎶 We are superexcited to be working with Almond Breeze in 2016 for lots of yummy + delicious sponsored posts! This recipe features their Almondmilk Cashewmilk blend which is 👌🏼. Truth: creamy garlic roasted red pepper sauce belongs on EV-ER-EE-THING. Including but not limited to: traditional pasta, whole wheat pasta, gluten free pasta, or, if you're embracing this as a SUPER NUTRITIOUS kind of dinner situation -> zucchini pasta! I'm on a kick, can you tell? It's almost not worth talking about how creamy-amazing this combo is going to be, because with the velvety almond cashew milk and…

It's just better this way. To eat broccoli before losing myself in the upcoming chocolate caramel gooey intensity, it's just better. Because that chocolate. Ohh. My. We definitely need to start with the broccoli. This white bean lasagna was my back-to-reality meal after two weeks of family visitors and eating out and all-you-can-eat buffets. I made it on Sunday as an effort to a) eat something that I felt good (healthy good) about, and 2) stop eating straight peanut butter out of the jar for lunch. Family vacation, man. It will do.you.in. as far as a normal eating and cooking…
